4.10 BATTERY CHARGING - LITHIUM-ION MACHINE
To check the battery condition on the lithium
ION equipped machine, power up the
machine and use the special indicator shown
at position 8 on the platform control station
LCD display.
or;
Check the charge indicator (item 2) on
the side of the Lithium-Ion battery pack.
This indicator shows the current charge
state of the lithium-ion battery pack as
follows;
Red Steady: first phase of recharging.
Red flashing: second phase of recharg-
ing.
Orange/yellow steady: third phase of recharging.
Orange/yellow flashing (4s ON - 1s OFF): equalization/
standby phase. When you're in this phase, batteries can be
considered charged. The charger is doing the batteries volt-
age equalization at first and then it's in standby maintaining
batteries at max charge. The time for equalization can be of
some hours but it's not necessary to complete it in order to
consider the recharge phase completed.
If the machine is powered on while charging,
the LCD display on the platform control sta-
tion also shows the machine charge indica-
tor.
Charging the Battery Pack
Approximate time required to fully recharge the battery
pack:
• Full Recharge - 4 hrs. - 120V AC
• 80% Recharge - 2 hrs. - 120V AC
• The batteries can be charged during machine opera-
tion, (obviously the charging times in this case will be lon-
ger).
• The batteries can be charged when they are not fully
depleted.
• If the charge is less than 20% an audible warning signal
will be activated whenever the electric motor is started,
to alert the user to charge the machine.
• If the charge is less than 10%, in addition to the audible
warning signal, reduced speed is activated and an icon
comes on in position 4 on the platform station LCD dis-
play.
To start charging the battery connect the main AC power
supply to the AC socket (item 1 - photo) located on the
right rear of the machine next to the electric engine.
After a few seconds the charge indicator (item 2 - photo)
located on the righthand side of the machine on the lithium-
ion battery pack turns red, meaning the battery has started
charging.
